With Spring in full swing, now is the perfect time to start planning garage organization! From seasonal decorations to old clothes and sports equipment, it's no wonder garages tend to be the collectors of clutter! Not to worry though, the experts at PremierGarage^® Powered by Tailored Living^® have plenty of experience with garage organization, and are here to share their most useful tips when it comes to minimizing clutter.

Our first recommendation is to begin the process of deciding what to keep and what to toss. It's helpful to start out by making four piles: store, sell, donate, and toss. For the items you wish to get rid of, consider holding a garage sale to make a bit of extra income! Once your unwanted items have been removed, we find it beneficial to bring everything out of your garage (including the things you want to keep). Having this blank slate to work off of helps give you a better visual of how you can begin grouping sections of your garage.

Next, comes the fun part: sorting! Begin organizing your garage items into categories such as frequently-used, seasonal, keepsake, sporting, and gardening. To maximize space, be sure to take advantage of your wall space. Shelves, racks, baskets, and hooks are a great way to keep your items in their proper place and also easily accessible!

Finally, one often overlooked method is to utilize ceiling space. Especially beneficial for homeowners who like parking their cars in their garage, this will ensure that you have plenty of space to move around without bumping into any items. Overhead storage racks are great for seasonal trinkets and items that are used infrequently such as travel luggage. If you enjoy outdoor living, bike hoists are perfect for freeing up floor and wall space. To view more aerial ideas, visit here.
